Emerging Drugs

Soticlestat (OV935/TAK-935): Ovid Therapeutics/Takeda

Soticlestat, previously called TAK-935 or OV935, is an investigational treatment developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals in collaboration with Ovid Therapeutics to treat rare developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE). It is a potent, highly selective, first-in-class inhibitor of the enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H), with the potential to reduce seizure susceptibility and improve seizure control, and have an oral route of administration.

Soticlestat inhibits the activity of an enzyme called cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H), which is found at high levels in the brain where it plays a role in cholesterol metabolism. Research has shown that it is also involved in regulating a neurotransmitter or cell-signaling molecule called glutamate. One of the main neurotransmitters in the brain is glutamate that can increase the initiation and spread of seizure activity. High levels of CH24H activate glutamate signaling pathways, so by inhibiting CH24H, Soticlestat should be able to reduce the number and severity of seizures. As per Ovid, Soticlestat is the only molecule with this mechanism of action in clinical development as an anti-epileptic drug (AED).

Market Outlook

Most of the patients suffering from the Dup15q syndrome show a variety of symptoms, and the current treatment approach helps in managing them. The choice of treatment to be adopted depends on the type of symptoms the person is showing.

A study was conducted to examine the phenotypes and treatments of seizures in Dup15q in a large population. In the study, ~400 families were contacted through the Dup15q Alliance and asked to complete a questionnaire survey online regarding the presence and presentation of epilepsy in their family member with a chromosome 15q duplication. There were responses from 95 family members of individuals with chromosome 15q duplications, representing a response rate of ~25% of the entire Dup15q Alliance in 2009.

For the 22 children with infantile spasms, the most common first and second medications used were adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/prednisone (5, first; 7, second) and vigabatrin (VGB; 5, first; 2, second), with the only other medications used by more than one respondent being valproic acid (VPA, 2) and topiramate (TPM, 2). ACTH/prednisone was more effective than VGB in controlling seizures (75% vs. 29% with >90% seizure reduction for those that tried each medication) with similar rates of seizure exacerbation. For all other seizure types, there was an overall 24% response rate to the first medication prescribed, with an additional 21% showing 50-90% seizure improvement (61%). For the second medication prescribed (45%), there was a 36% response rate. The most commonly prescribed medications were VPA (60%), levetiracetam (LEV, 44%), TPM (40%), lamotrigine (LTG, 37%), carbamazepine (CBZ, 35%), zonisamide (ZNS, 23%), and clonazepam (CLZ, 23%). Family members believed that the most effective medications for controlling seizures were the following: rufinamide (RUF; 12%), CBZ (35%), LTG (37%), oxcarbazepine (OXC; 12%), and VPA (60%). Overall, only 1 (< 5%) of 22 of those who tried a benzodiazepine indicated that it was the most effective medication. The percentage of those still taking each medication at the time of the study was highest in broad-spectrum AED such as RUF (12%), LTG (37%), VPA (60%), and ZNS (23%). Intolerable adverse effects were reported most frequently in those taking LEV (52%, most common behavioral), ZNS (50%, sedation), clobazam (CLB; 50%, sedation), OXC (50%, sedation), and TPM (48%, sedation). Only a few respondents had family members who tried nonpharmacologic treatments including the ketogenic diet (2%), vagus nerve stimulation (13%), gluten-free diet (2%), and surgical resection (2%) (Conant et al., 2014).

The Dup15q syndrome has received little attention because of its rarity, the fairly nonspecific phenotype, the clinical heterogeneity, and the wide spectrum of severity. Along with developmental delay, ASD and epilepsy are predominant components of the clinical picture. In a retrospective cohort of 30 unrelated patients, 77% of cases met the criteria for developmental delay, while 74% had a diagnosis of ASD.

So far there is no approved therapy for the treatment of the disease and the present management options provide symptomatic treatment. In the developmental pipeline, one therapy is there that is under investigation for Dup15q syndrome.

Key Findings

The market size of Dup15q syndrome in the 7MM was USD 15.69 million in 2017.
The market size of Dup15q syndrome in the US was USD 8.94 million in 2017.
In 2017, among the EU-5 countries, Germany had the highest market size of USD 1.12 million, followed by the United Kingdom, and Italy. The lowest market size was estimated in Spain with USD 0.46 million in 2017.
Till now, there are no approved therapies for the disease. The treatment available provides supportive/symptomatic management. Additionally, not many companies are investigating this therapeutic area, hence there is only one therapy that is expected to be launched in the forecasted period (2020-2030).
Soticlestat (OV935/TAK-935) is expected to be launched in 2024 in the US, and 2025 in EU-5 and Japan. The molecule is anticipated to be approved as adjuvant therapy, hence it's approval will not affect the market size of supportive therapies, and the market size of these therapies will continue to increase throughout the study period.
In the year 2017, the market size of supportive/symptomatic treatment was observed to be USD 15.69 million in the 7MM.
The market size of Japan in 2017 was observed at USD 2.37 million.
